EDC423 Assignment:Student Interview and Reflection - Due October 15
As your textbook suggests, interviewing can be very effective in providing information about a variety of factors that affect comprehension. For this assignment, you will:
Interview one elementary aged child to find out more about his/her background, interests, and literacy preferences. You might interview a relative, sibling, neighbor, or student in your practicum setting. You should let the child know this interview will take approximately 20-30 minutes.
After the interview, you will write a reflective summary of: (a) key experiences, interests, literacy preferences, and needs that stand out about this student and (b) how these insights inform your thinking and teaching practices as an elementary school teacher.
Page 1 includes directions for the interview and your summary reflection.
Page 2 is the rubric I will use to grade your work.
Pages 3-5 includes the actual questions you should use to guide your interview (the reading section is required; the writing section is very useful, but some of you may not have the time)
I will briefly review the directions in class, but please ask if you have additional questions.
